Melbourne boss Ange Postecoglou revealed he is disappointed with the prospect of losing high-caliber player, however said he is determined Rojas develops into really quality player the near future. He said: “While we would have loved to have seen him stay here at Melbourne Victory for a little longer, we knew we couldn’t stand in the way of his European ambitions. He’s rightly attracted plenty of attention around the globe for his efforts this year.”
